Industry Brief: Carriers, Agencies, and the Growing Service Gap
The market tension
Carriers continue investing in direct digital experiences. Consumers still call agencies when something breaks, renews oddly, or feels confusing — especially in complex markets like Michigan.
The agency opportunity
Service Desk quality and renewal clarity are the moat. But only if CSRs and producers share one customer record.
Ops implication
Agencies that still split service notes from CRM and marketing will feel slower than the carrier app — even when their advice is better.
